Tracey watched Arthur following Blair, and a glimmer of hope sprouted in her heart for a moment. Perhaps everything was a ruse, and he was not an undercover agent after all. Maybe Arthur and her brother had planned this together, deliberately letting themselves be kidnapped by Stephen to gain his trust.Arthur kept his eyes on Tracey. She did not look well. Her forehead was bandaged, and she had a red and teary-eyed appearance, clearly cried recently. As Arthur thought about how he caused her injuries, he felt a deep sense of guilt."Tracey." Blair walked up to Tracey and gently touched her forehead. "How's the head injury?""The doctor said it's just a flesh wound, nothing serious," Tracey replied, her gaze again shifting to Arthur. "Brother, what's going on here?""James has been captured.""James?" Tracey was momentarily taken aback. She was not unfamiliar with the name. He was the youngest brother of Luke, often referred to as Uncle James. However, she was not yet born when
"Brother, I'd like to talk to Arthur alone."Blair furrowed his brows slightly and gave Arthur a cold, piercing look. He stood up and spoke icily to Arthur, "If Tracey doesn't forgive you, you shall never appear in Richworth again!"Blair asked where Aunt Laura and Spike were and went upstairs after learning that Spike was napping.Aunt Laura looked at Arthur and then at Tracey, gesturing for the servants to leave. Soon, the living room was empty, with only Tracey and Arthur.Arthur looked at Tracey while tears streaming down her face, and his heart ached. "Tracey, I'm sorry—"Tracey interrupted him. "Arthur, let me ask you. If my brother hadn't discovered your identity, would you have listened to James and kidnapped me, even killed me?""No!" Arthur answered without the slightest hesitation. He walked up to Tracey and had a solemn expression in his eyes. "Tracey, even if Master Blair hadn't found out about my identity, I would never do anything to hurt you."Tracey, tears strea
Blair was taken aback, not expecting Spike to ask such a question suddenly. Did he know?Spike looked at Blair seriously and asked, "The bad guys who kidnapped Aunt Tracey and I said I'm your real son."He did not know whether to believe what he heard, so Spike decided to ask Blair directly.Blair stared at Spike's innocent face for a moment, then replied with a question of his own, "Spike, do you want me to be your biological father?"Spike pursed his lips and showed a conflicted emotion on his face. "The Devil said that my biological father hurt Mommy, so I hate him. I only want Mommy."Hearing Spike's words, Blair's heart sank, and his expression became complex. His face turned pale.Spike hated him.However, in the next moment, Spike's tone changed, and he continued, "But I like Uncle Blair, and now Mommy likes Uncle Blair. If you're my biological father, I'll be delighted."One sentence instantly redeemed Blair. "Spike." Blair hugged Spike tightly, his eyes becoming tear
Blair nodded. "Get up and put on some clothes. We'll go together."He was also planning to visit Mable at the hospital. Although Hugh was there to protect her, Blair was still worried as he had not seen her for a whole day.Spike put on his clothes, washed his face in the bathroom, and then went downstairs with his dad.Downstairs, Tracey and Arthur were sitting on the couch. Tracey's tears had not dried up, and she was still accusing Arthur with her face full of sadness.When Blair and Spike came downstairs, Tracey asked, "Brother, where are you going?""I'm taking Spike to the hospital to see Mable. You stay at home and rest. Call me if you need anything." After saying that, Blair gave Arthur a warning look."Oh, okay."After Blair and Spike left, Tracey got up, wiped away her tears, and pointed at Arthur. "You swear that you won't lie to me anymore!"Arthur stood up straight, raised his palm, and swore. "I swear, I won't lie to you anymore."Tracey continued, "You swear tha
Mable did not want to worry Spike and Blair, so she put on a relaxed smile and said, "I'm feeling better today. After lunch, I could move around in the ward for a while."Spike touched Mommy's face and said, "Mommy, you need to get better soon."Mable kissed Spike on the cheek and reassured him, "Sweetie, Mommy will do her best to recover. Don't worry."Blair helped Mable return to the bed and took out a pair of thick socks from the wardrobe. As he helped her put them on, he said, "The weather is getting colder, so even if you don't go out, you should wear socks."Mable felt a warm sensation in her heart when looking at Blair helping her put on the socks.Spike looked at Mommy and said, "Mommy, I know who my real father is now.""Huh?" Mable was surprised by Spike's words and instinctively looked at Blair.Did he tell Spike?Blair looked at Mable and nodded. "I'm sorry, Mabes, I didn't discuss it with you beforehand.""It's okay. I was planning to tell Spike sooner or later. A
"What?!" Mable could not believe what she was hearing as she looked at Blair. "She's not your sister?""Tracey is James’ biological daughter," Blair explained Tracey's background to Mable, who was left dumbfounded.Tracey was not Luke's daughter. Although Luke had indeed raped the daughter of the former butler at the time, she did not get pregnant.Alex was worried that if Luke found out that James' daughter was still alive, he might act against her. So, he devised a plan for Tracey to enter the Fowlers as his illegitimate daughter.Mable looked at Blair with concern and asked, "Does Tracey know about this?"Blair pinched his brow, looking serious. "Mabes, I don't know if I should tell Tracey the truth."James had done so much harm to himself and Mable. He could not forgive him, and he had no intention of letting him go so easily.If Tracey found out that her biological father was the one who had been plotting against them in the background, how would she face James? As for hims
The next day, in the morning, Blair accompanied Mable at the hospital. After her lunch break, he headed to the custody center.James was temporarily detained in a Richworth custody center. He had committed numerous crimes, and the police needed to question some details. The earliest court trial would not occur until the month's end.James became excited when he saw Blair. "Blair, where's my daughter?""Tracey is at home." Blair looked at James with an expressionless face. "If you want to see her, answer my questions seriously."James squinted slightly. "What do you want to ask?"Blair inquired, "Who provided you with the Necro Poison?"Aust and Anthony were his men, and he financed the research in Santaviz, so Blair suspected they had a connection.Dr. Sandman had mentioned that the Necro Poison was one of the most mysterious and unique poisons in the South Jumonte, known only to authentic South Jumonte Necromasters.Blair suspected that if James acquired the Necro Poison from
Moreover, he did not have much time left.After a moment of silence, James sighed deeply. "Alright, I promise you."One should not be too greedy in life. Seeing her from a distance was already something to be content with.Blair picked up his phone and sent a message to Arthur.The Royal View Villa.Tracey sat in the living room, sending a message to Mable.She had intended to go to the hospital to see her, but she was afraid that Mable would worry when she saw the bandage on her head. So, she decided to wait until tomorrow to remove the bandage before going to the hospital.Tracey messaged Mable to inquire about her day. The two of them chatted for a while, and then Mable suddenly messaged her, asking about her relationship with Arthur.Tracey hesitated momentarily before replying, [Mabes, I've forgiven him. You can scold me if you want; I'm weak-minded. As soon as he apologized, I couldn't bear to hate him anymore. Besides, he explained that even though he was an undercover a
“Arthur proposed to Tracey?!”In the afternoon, Tracey posted several photos of her and Arthur in a hot air balloon. In one of the photos, she held a bouquet with a dazzling ring on her ring finger.[Yes, I do.]That was the caption.Blair hugged Mable and nodded with a smile. “Yeah, Arthur proposed to her today. Trace called to say they’ll prepare for the wedding after they return from their trip.”“That’s great!”Mable was sincerely happy for Tracey and Arthur.She asked Blair, “Do they have any ideas for the wedding? We can help them prepare in advance.”Blair said, “We can call Trace and ask.”Mable looked at the time. It was midnight in Monafett, and she did not want to disturb them by calling at this hour. She smiled and said, “I’ll call her tomorrow.”Getting two good news in a row today made Mable feel particularly good. After dinner, she could not help but want to drink some wine to celebrate.Blair had not drunk for a long time, either. Seeing her in high spirits,
Kyle stared into Zoe’s eyes. He had indeed noticed it, but he was not sure yet.However, when Zoe called him by his full name, he was completely certain.Zoe had regained her memories.From the moment she woke up, her emotions had been off. Even Monica noticed something wrong with her, so how could he not have seen it?Kyle looked at Zoe, reaching out to brush the hair by her temples. “It’s been a long time since you called me that.”Zoe had not called him since waking up, but as soon as she did, she called him Kyle instead of Ky. He knew then she must have remembered everything.Although Kyle knew that this day would come sooner or later, he did not expect her to regain her memories at this moment.He was completely unprepared and caught off guard.Zoe lowered her head. “That’s what I used to call you, but you tricked me into calling you Ky.”She remembered everything as soon as she woke up.The events that happened when she had forgotten felt like a dream, too surreal to be
Kyle named the baby Six not only because he was born at 6 pounds and 6 ounces but also because June 6th was the day they first met.He would always remember the scene when he first saw Zoe, even though their relationship started with deception, manipulation, and even revenge.Kyle caressed Zoe’s cheek and said, “Zoe, I’ve never told you this, but I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. It was love at first sight.“I want you to stay by my side forever and let me stay by your side forever. I’ll never let you go again in this lifetime.”Zoe’s eyes slowly reddened as she listened to Kyle’s heartfelt words.Indeed, she never knew he fell in love with her at first sight...They both did.Kyle gently wiped away her tears. “Zoe, I promise you. We’ll only part in death, never in life.”Zoe choked and nodded, burying her face in his chest as she cried.In her arms, Six seemed to sense his mother’s emotions and moved restlessly.Zoe quickly comforted him.“Let me.” Kyle took the
At the hospital. When Zoe woke up again, it was already the next morning.As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Kyle sitting by her bedside.Kyle noticed her waking up and quickly held her hand. “Zoe, you’re awake. How do you feel?”Zoe stared at the man in front of her and blinked, feeling shocked.When she did not answer, Kyle immediately became nervous. “What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”Zoe remained silent and continued to stare at him. Her eyes gradually turned red, and her nose tingled with a strong sense of sourness.Kyle’s heart clenched at the sight. “Zoe, don’t scare me like this. Zoe...”He was getting anxious and was just about to call the doctor when she suddenly grabbed his hand. “I... I’m okay. I just had a nightmare. I’m a bit groggy after waking up.”Kyle hugged her, his warm hand gently patting her back. “It’s okay. I’ve been by your side all along.”Zoe buried her face in his shoulder, softly humming without saying anything.At that mom
“I see.”Outside the delivery room, Kyle’s family and the others were still waiting anxiously.Close to midnight, the door finally opened, and the nurse carried the baby out.“It’s a boy. Both mother and son are safe.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.Before long, Zoe was pushed out. Monica checked on the baby before hurriedly walking to Zoe’s side and taking her hand. “Zoe, you did so well.”“I’m okay, Mom.”Zoe was still very weak after just giving birth, and her voice was weak. Monica immediately told her husband to call the servants to brew a tonic and sent it over.Mable walked to Zoe and felt her heart ache when she saw the latter’s pale face, but she smiled and said, “Congratulations, Zoe.”Zoe smiled, no longer having the strength to speak.Blair and Solomon congratulated Kyle.Kyle nodded, not paying attention to them, and took Zoe back to the ward with the nurse.Zoe was a first-time mother, so she was extremely exhausted after giving birth an
As soon as Mable learned that Zoe was about to go into labor, she rushed to the hospital immediately. It was late at night, and Blair was worried, so he accompanied her.When the two arrived at the hospital, Zoe had already been taken into the delivery room. Kyle followed her in, but his parents waited anxiously outside.Mable looked at Monica and Floyd and asked, “Isn’t Zoe’s due date still about ten days away? Why did it suddenly come early?”Monica said, “We’re not sure, either. After dinner tonight, Zoe said her stomach was hurting. Kyle helped her upstairs to rest, but not long after, he called for someone to prepare the car to go to the hospital...”Seeing Mable stare anxiously at the delivery room, Blair held her hand and comforted her. “Don’t worry. Zoe has been healthy her whole pregnancy. There shouldn’t be any problems.”Mable nodded. “Yeah, I hope both the mother and child are safe.”Soon, Solomon and Ines also arrived.Solomon greeted Kyle’s parents and asked, “How
Without saying anything, Solomon placed his behind Ines’ head and kissed her.Ines wrapped her arms around his waist...Knock, knock!The untimely sound of knocking interrupted them.Ines jumped like a startled deer, eyes wide and cheeks red.The servant’s voice came from outside. “Sir, dinner is ready.”Solomon hugged Ines and cleared his throat. “Got it. We’ll be right there.”The servant acknowledged and left.Ines buried her head in Solomon’s chest and took a deep breath before saying, “Let’s go. Don’t want your parents to wait too long.”“Yeah.”Solomon stroked her head and looked at the drawing he had just completed. “Once it’s dry, I’ll have it framed and hang it in the bedroom, okay?”Ines asked, “In this bedroom?”Solomon nodded and kissed her forehead. “Yeah, we’ll probably come back to stay here often in the future.”Ines pursed her lips and smiled silently.“Let’s go have dinner.” Solomon led her downstairs.After having dinner at the Rowland residence, Solom
Solomon embraced Ines from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. “I learned to draw when I was young and almost did fine arts for college.”“Why didn’t you?”Winning first prize in a national art competition indicated a high level of drawing skill.Solomon said, “Painting is just one of my many interests. I do it to pass the time when I’m bored. I’ve never thought of becoming an artist.”Ines nodded. “I see.”Solomon suddenly perked up and opened a small cabinet beside the bookshelf, taking out a canvas and some paints. “Come on, I’ll draw a portrait.”Ines was stunned. “Of me?”“Yep. Give me a moment.”Solomon led Ines to sit on the sofa, then went out to find a servant to bring him the easel.Although he had not painted in many years, he still had all the tools he used before.Before long, the servant helped him bring in the easel and other tools.After looking at the layout of the bedroom, Solomon asked Ines to sit in the soft chair by the window, where the lighting w
Ines blinked. “I was just thinking about what to bring to your house tomorrow. I can’t go empty-handed...”Solomon laughed at her words. “You don’t need to bring anything. Just seeing you will make them happy.”“That won’t do. I still need to buy something.”Although she knew that Solomon’s parents did not lack anything, she could not just go without a gift. It was still necessary to have proper etiquette.Ines was a little nervous at the thought of visiting his parents tomorrow. “Can you tell me what your parents are like?”Solomon noticed her nervousness and squeezed her hand. “Don’t worry. My mom and dad are very nice. They won’t make things difficult for you.”Ines looked at him and nodded.With him by her side, she was not that worried.She heard Solomon say that his father liked tea, so she bought a gift box from the supermarket. In addition, she also brought some nutritional supplements to bring along when they go to Solomon’s house tomorrow.After buying everything, th
